Al Sharpton and NAACP want a meeting with NBA to discuss “diversity” ?     But the league is 75-80% black…. oh, they want to discuss “ownership diversity”…   In that case I have an idea.   Each of the big 5 professional black grievance institutions should be forced to purchase a team.  

National Urban League could purchase the Pistons.
National Action Network could purchase the Nicks
NAACP could purchase the Hawks. etc

Then watch what happens….  would the grievance stop?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Several civil rights organizations applauding the NBA for its lifetime ban of Clippers owner Donald Sterling because of racist comments the league says he made in a recorded conversation.

However, those groups still want to meet with NBA commissioner Adam Silver to discuss diversity in the executive ranks of the professional basketball league and to figure out ways to ensure such situations don’t happen again.

The National Urban League, the National Action Network, the NAACP and the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation issued a joint statement cheering Silver’s announcement that he banned Sterling for life and that the league would attempt to force him to sell the Clippers. (more…)

Commissioner Silver will more than likely get the 75% supermajority vote he needs to oust Sterling, so now the question is….will Shelly Sterling want to run the team?   California’s  community property laws dictate that Shelly has a right to 50% of everything Donald owns…most importantly, that will be the Clippers.  Reportedly, she’s a long time fan of the game, and she really loves the team.

“When I was there she was very good and kind to me,’’ Harper said. “I was at a game last year, sat down and ate with her. She loves the team and the sport and loves basketball. She knows what’s going on. It’s probably going to hurt her more than him.”

Well……now the long knives are coming out for Shelly, and what she said Monday night certainly won’t help her case.  After publicly calling her husband despicable and scolding him for his racist comments, she’s goes out to dinner with him, and says he isn’t a racist and the tape was altered via TMZ.

After reading some of the comments surrounding recent articles and our presentations about the LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling and the payments to the NAACP, I just realized that many readers don’t know about “Indulgence Fees” or how they work.
Indeed it almost seems as if people think the term “Indulgence Fee” is some form of snark on my part made up to poke fun at the Black Grievance Industry.    It’s not.
My sincere apologies, I took it for granted people actually knew how this works.

Indulgence Fees are how the BGI operate.    The NAACP and other entities within the Black Grievance Industry have an entire fee schedule structured to outline how much is paid to whom based on their status within the organization.   Speaking fees, protest fees, hosting fees, are coordinated within the Indulgence Fee concept depending on the venue.
In addition the leadership within the structural BGI determine the fee schedules, or rates, for pre-paid “indulgences”, and also consult on the post-sin infraction fee rates.

“We are negotiating with him about giving more moneys to African American students at UCLA, and so we are in preliminary discussions,” Jenkins said.

(Los Angeles)  The NAACP said today they are still willing to work with Los Angeles Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling despite yanking an offer of a lifetime achievement award over an audio tape containing racist comments that Sterling allegedly made.

At a news conference today, NAACP Los Angeles president Leon Jenkins said that an audio recording that surfaced this weekend on TMZ, which purportedly had Sterling’s voice recorded making racist comments, was “devastating.”
But the organization would be open to talking to Sterling, with whom they’ve worked for nearly 20 years. (more…)

The parallel between Eric Holder doing this and Alberto Carvalho’s program in Miami-Dade schools with the use of the MDSPD is IDENTICAL.

(Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department on Monday said it will begin collecting data on stops, searches and arrests made in five U.S. cities to weed out possible racial biases within the criminal justice system.
Later this year, a $4.75 million federal grant will be awarded to recipients who compete for the funds to work with their local law enforcement to analyze arrest data and find ways to reduce any biases they find, particularly toward young minority men.
Black men were six times more likely, and Latino men were 2.5 times more likely, to be imprisoned than white men in 2012, according to Justice Department data. (more…)

TMZ Posts a video interview with Al Sharpton taken at La Guardia airport, along with this article.   However, what I want to bring to your attention is the TMZ use of quotes that do not exist.

According to the article (screen grab above) this is what TMZ quote Al Sharpton as having said:

“No one should be allowed to own a team if they have in fact engaged in this kind of racial language.”

“We are prepared at National Action Network to rally in front of the NBA headquarters if this matter is not immediately dealt with.”

However, I no longer take quotes or even transcribes as accurate – because I’ve noted a trend of manipulation, especially with the Bundy story.     So I watched the interview, and have transcribed every word from Sharpton.     TMZ’s Al Sharpton interview is transcribed below so  you can look for those exact quotations, and you’ll note they do not exist.    (more…)

HatTip WeeWeed – (Via Peoples Cube) While some undoubtedly ignorant people today made much ado about the nothing engendered in the Vatican’s redundant elevation of two dead old white males into so-called “sainthood”, reasonable people are asking a more important question: “Why was Barack Obama ignored?”

“It is obviously blatant racism,” said a non-white hispanic writer for the famous and intellectually impressive New York Times. “After all,” he added with less outrage than we had expected, “Obama won a NOBEL PRIZE FOR CHRISSAKES! If THAT doesn’t qualify him for sainthood, what the hell does?” (more…)

The Supreme Court delivered ruling, 6-2,  to Affirmative Action this week by siding with Michigan. FNC’s Chris Wallace hosts this spirited debate between Jennifer Gratz (XIV Foundation CEO) and Shanta Driver (Civil Rights Attorney) as they weigh in with their take on the Supreme Court decision.

– Post Bumped and Updated With The Video –
The first U.S. journalist to rise and ask a question during the official press conference between President Obama and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib was Chuck Todd from NBC News.
What does he choose to ask about ?
The Russia v Ukraine crisis?  EU Sanctions and growing fears of NATO nations?  G7 and the fears of another world war?  The collapse of a Japanese trade deal from the previous day ?   The coordination of U.S. search efforts for Missing Malaysian airlines MH-370?   Pan-Asian relations and nuclear agreements?
Pfffffftt….   silly rabbit.

Why… LA Clippers Owner Donald Sterling, and the existence of racism in the USA of course.

Race-baiters gotta’ race-bait.    And… of course President Obama has a well briefed response reflecting he has been *THOROUGHLY* apprised of the situation.

  Independent journalist Jack Cashill discusses his examination of the Trayvon Martin shooting/George Zimmerman case (“If I had a son: Race, Guns and the railroading of George Zimmerman”) at a forum held at the Platte County Resource Center in Kansas City, Missouri and televised on C-Span’s “Book TV”.
The entire discussion is about 1 hr  and 15 minutes long.  He opens up the discussion of his book about the Trayvon Martin shooting by laying down the foundation for the Progressive/Communist Agitprop history of politicizing non-political criminal cases for the advancement of the Socialist agenda, starting with the Sacco/Vanzetti case in the 1920’s.  It is a worthwhile listen for those who don’t have a full appreciation that the techniques used by the Progressives in the Trayvon Martin drama were from an old, old playbook.
